A w onderful Book.

We have received from the publishers,
d. Lothrop Company, Boston, Volume W
of Wide Awake, bound in pretty cover
1t ought to be bound in steel
A librarian said of the earlier volumes
lately, "They are literally read to pieces. :"
What sort of book do you think it is
that ought to be bound in steel
We should like to believe that every
body is familiar with it, But we know
that, just as good food is rare, so good
books are not on every mans table. An
excess of pepper and spice is apt to accom-
pany coarseness of Wand. Men and
women and children, most of us, read
what is "lively" rather than true; and we
learn to crave the pepper and spice.
One in a dozen families-no, nor so
many-one in hundred-eats good food
About as many read good books. And
yet the proportion OF good eating and
reading is quite as high in this as in any
country. The fact is some good food is
little dry. Good reading is never peppery.
We are losing our capacity for enjoyment
of both when we crave unwholesome slim
ulants.
Wide Awake is one of those rare collec-
tons varied and bright enough to engage
the common reader and good enough to
lead the capable reader to higher pleas
ures and benefits.
Four volumes of the Wide Awake are
now in the bookstores, U. and V. in one
style of binding and w and X in another,
$l.75 volume.

" SELLS DAY" ALMOST HERE.
October 4th will Signalize the Advent
of the Greatest on Earth.

Just now the chief topic of conversation
at the hotels, clubs, restaurants, and other
places where people congregate, is the APP
preaching visit of Sells Brothers widely
renowned and justly popular tented combi-
nation, which appears here, in all its sum
mer beauty, Tuesday, October 4. As the
day of the exhibition draws near, interest
in the event increases at a remarkable rate.
1t would seem that tie entire community
had the circus fever, and badly, too.
Well, it is not strange that our people
should enthuse over the Messrs. Sells ag
gregation, as it is a stupendous and I'M
paralleled affair, and creates blaze of ex-
citement wherever it appears. From all
indications there will be the largest crowd
in the city, on the day of Sells Brothers
visit here, that has ever been known in the
history of Jackson. The Messrs. Sells
have been playing to the capacity of their
tents everywhere. No such complete and
gigantic success ever attended circus
tour before. Our exchanges TEEN with
editorials extolling the magnificent worth
of the show, and scarcely day passes but
that some gentleman, who has already
seen the establishment this season, grows
eloquent in describing to US the superia-
tive excellence of the Messrs. Sells Tea
tures. The show embraces wider range
of attractions than any tented management
has heretofore possessed. There is
5000 900 menagerie of fifty cages, an In
dian village and museum, an chronological
congress of barbarous tribes, a grand fire.

summate revival of the Roman hippo

The array of eminent equestrians with

posing. The Messrs. Sells have always
had a penchant for equestrianism-proba
the most popular feature of the circus

pet idea by securing the greatest number
OF riders that ever appeared in one estab-
Ilshment. Prominent among the lady
riders Is the dashIng and bewitching Nellie
Bryant, an American production, but who
has dazzled Europe with her matchless art
during the past FIVE years. Some of the
other equestrienne stars are Mile Delmar,
a French importation, and the most fear
less somersault thrower of her sex. Miss
Polly Lee, the brilliant and statuesque
n'dnege equestrienne Madame Thornton,
world renowned six-horse rider, and the
Misses Lille Ramsdell, Mollie Stevens.
